I think with reasonable precautions one can eliminate most of the danger. Leather boots, chaps, exercise caution on warm nights etc.

I guess when I sometimes hunt in highish grass down here barefoot and wearing shorts in summer, that might be a bit of a problem.

YOU wouldn't walk barefoot around here much...cactus of one sort or another can be abit of an issue in most areas..

Play with snakes ... get bitten ...

Had workers in the vineyard yesterday. Doing stuff in one vineyard. They were going to finish there and work elsewhere. I did have too high grass and had cut it down in the target area, so went and cut it down in the next area. They had mentioned snakes. And yep, spotted at least one brown snake in the next area from the tractor. Which is quite hard. Hopefully I ran over it with the mower but unlikely. They move away from vibration and a big heavy tractor with a mower makes a LOT of vibration. I find a lot or people especially on social media saying "I like snakes" etc. Almost always urbanites.

And yep all these "handlers" making their little films and handling deadly snakes. Eventually get bitten. Handling snakes for extracting venom for anti venom is a worthwhile thing. Playing with them to make youtube videos as an "expert" is just dickhead stuff.
